have attained a quality of significance as determined by the historic preservation act of 1966, as amended. Noncontributing building means a building which does not add to the district's sense of time and place and historic development; or one where the location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association have been so altered or have so deteriorated that the overall integrity of the building has been irretrievably lost. Ordinary maintenance or repair means any work for which a building permit is not required by law, where the purpose and effect of such work is to correct any physical deterioration or damage of an improvement, or any part thereof by restoring it, as nearly as practical, to its appearance prior to the occurrence of such deterioration or damage. Reconstruction means the process of reproducing by new construction the exact form and detail of a demolished building, structure or object as it appeared at a certain point in time. Rehabilitation means the process of repairing or altering an historic building so that an efficient contemporary use is achieved, while preserving those significant, historical, architectural or cultural features which establish the character of the property. Relocation means the act of preserving an historic structure which cannot remain on its existing site by physically moving it to a new location. Restoration means the act of accurately recovering the form and details of a property as it appears at a particular period of time, which may involve the removal of later additions or alterations, or the replacement of missing features. Review guide means the component of the designation report prepared by the historic landmark office which lists some of the more prominent features which contribute to the overall character of a structure and/or district. The review guide may be used to address the impact of new construction, additions, modifications, alterations and/or renovations which may become the subject of some future certificate of appropriateness or to address the existing physical characteristics, and may be used to determine whether or not elements which create the character of the structure and/or district are present, or whether subsequent changes to the property have rendered it ineligible for listing. Secretary of the Interior's Standard for Rehabilitation (Revised March 1990) means measures which provide guidance on the sensitive rehabilitation of an historic property. The ten (10) standards generally address design issues which include: character defining elements; changes which have occurred over the course of the property's history; desirable approaches to the repair of damaged Historic Preservation Ordinance 4 Legislation/Ordinances HO/jb
